Tho mercury indicated 80 degrees in the close littie council chamber at S o'clock last evening when the board met in regular wonthly session. The mayor and all the members answered to roll call. The ald men worked perspiringly through tne groat piles of monthly bills and disposed of them within the first hour and the remainder of the hot evening was civen to the discussion of miscellaneous business. The attention of the called to the squatt first- WOIlK COUNCIL, council was again who were oceupying strects and private property in the lower part of the city. On motion’ of Vau Bruat the couneil agreed to investigate the trouble as a committec of the whole. Mr. Brown introduced an improvement resolution divesting the property owiers on the cast side of Pearl streot to tear up the brick sidewalk from Broidway to First avenue and relay the same with artificial stone to conform with that laid_before Judge nes' property. B. L. Shugart and others interested registerad an encrgetio kick, claiming that the walle already down was the best brick pavement in the city, and was laid in couformity with the special ordinanc and in obedicace to the orders of the city and these gentlemen served a general notic upon the city that the improvement, or chan, could only be effected at the con- clusion of extensive litigation. The matter was laid ov The question of paving Avenue E was brought up by a petition usking for the pav- ing of the stract, The engineer reported thav the grade was 16,7, a grade next door to the impractible and thé stecpest hill in the city. Several of the property owners desired to huve a sewer before the paving was done. The petition was granted. An ordinance changing the grade on Ben- ton street from Prospect to Harrison was passed. The change reduces tho grade on the upper end of the street. “The petition of I. H. Sheafe for £200 dam- age for overflow of Indian creek was refused. The committee recommended that the en- gincer's estimate for sewer work on Lincoln avenue be published. The city solicitor was instructed to provide ay for the issuance of certificates of ont against the property of W. W. Biler and. others to pay for curbing done on Fiith avenue by R. L. Williams under ivate contract, the property owners not 1 able to pay for the work. The sheriff reported the condemnation of property for the opening of Hawthorne avenue in Madison park addition. Protests were made aguinst the award and the city was asked to stand half of the damuge. Van Brunt moved that the city pay $100 of the amount provided tho property owners would pay the remainder, but on roil call the motion was lost. ‘Ihe sheriff’s condemna- tion was approved and his fees ordered paid. Contractor Hurlbut who has been awarded the contract for grading North Sixteenth street, was reported ta have left the city and abandoued the contract. Dr. Snyder and L. C. Bouham were ordered to go ahead and com plete the work. The enzineer and special committeo re- ported that P. Sweeney had _drawn 370 not dus him by false representations, and that the assignment of his contract to another party would not parm:t that person to collect that amount after compietion of the work. Sweeney’s coutract was for grading and was assigned to William Fitze erald. “The reports of city oficers and heads of departme.ts were received and vouched for by the finance committee. "The Union Ilevator company served notice that it had appealed from the assessor's rating and carried the matter to the district cour J. M. Hardin and R. E. Hines were re ported by the engineer to have filed the same bids for constructing threa foet, four feeu and six feet plank sidewalks, and they were ordered to settle tho matter between them- selves by flipping pennies, drawing cuts, any other harmless ant'-gambling gume they were familiar with Resolutions vacating ar: alley in Sunn, nddition and the establishment of grad Bavvet place were introduced and p3 together with necessary ordinances.

A Scurrilous Sheet, Couvsein, Buuees, Ia, July 4.—To the Aditor of Tie B While in Carroll, Ia., I picked up a copy of the Omaha World-Herald which some stranger who didn't know the thing had carried that far to throw away in disgust. In it I noticed a report of the anni- versary entertainment given by the Dogree of Pocahontas and Improved Ovder of Red Men. I was sarprised aad indignant to note the coarse and brutal manner in which some of the Iadies were caricatured, not critici It was a little social gathering entertained by local taleut, und the presence of any sharp eritic w neither expected ror desired. There was absolutely no justitication for criticism of the ludies, even if it bad beon made in a far less 50 and upgentlemunly manuer. 1 know that the entiro programue and those who rendered it earned the good opinion of the eutiro uudience, and I know that every Red Mun deeply regrets the coarse wording of the attempted tumorous report that unneees- sarily wounded some of our own ladics and others who were our invited guests. I for one favor tho iden of tho two lodges taking, in addition to the action ulreidy taken and contemplated, steps to clearly impress upon the World-Herald people that their presence is uotat all desirable in such places un they can at least make o docent and g wanly mentiou of the ladies who take part our soclal exercise.

It is by no means certain that there wus so much foliy in it as was generally supposed. 1t is ¢laimed that a strong defense can be made of Brown's iginal plan, writes Sidney H.
